Introduction
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes installation,
operation, maintenance, and parts ordering
information for M Series manual handwheel gear
actuators. Refer to separate manuals for instructions
covering the valves used with these actuators.
W4715-1 / IL
Do not install, operate, or maintain an M Series
handwheel gear actuator without first D being fully
trained and qualified in valve, actuator, and
accessory installation, operation, and maintenance,
and D carefully reading and understanding the
contents of this manual. If you have any questions
about these instructions, contact your Emerson
Process Managementt sales office before
proceeding.
Description
M Series handwheel gear actuators (figure 1) are
totally enclosed, weatherproof, worm gear actuators
for reliable manual operation with Type A11, A31A
and A41 High Performance Butterfly Valves. The M
actuator consists of a body housing, cover, worm
gear, input shaft, and handwheel. The housing is
grease packed.

Specifications
Specifications for the M Series manual handwheel
gear actuators are shown in table 1.

Neither Emerson, Emerson Process
Management, nor any of their affiliated
entities assumes responsibility for the
selection, use and maintenance of any

Valve Compatibility
J Accepts Type A11 valve square-end shafts
from 10.3 to 34.9 mm (13/32 to 1-3/8 inches),
keyed shafts from 38.1 to 44.5 mm (1-1/2 to 1-3/4
inches)
J Accepts Type A31A valve keyed shafts from
44.5 to 57.2 mm (1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches)
J Accepts Type A41 valve Double D shafts from
12.7 to 44.5 mm (1/2 to 1-3/4 inches)
Maximum Torque Output
See Bulletin 22.2:M
Handwheel Rotation
Clockwise handwheel rotation closes the valve
(produces clockwise rotation of the valve shaft)
1. As an option, CL600 NPS 10 (with 1-1/2 inch keyed shaft) and NPS 12 (with 1-3/4 inch shaft) Type A11 valves require a keyed connection if being used with size 9KE or 10KE-6 actuators.

Installation
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property
damage resulting from the sudden
release of pressure, do not install the
actuator where service conditions
could exceed the limits given in this
manual or on the appropriate
nameplates. Use pressure-relieving
devices as required by government or
accepted industry codes and good
engineering practices.
Always wear protective gloves,
clothing, and eyewear when
performing any installation operations
to avoid personal injury.
Check with your process or safety
engineer for any additional measures
2
that must be taken to protect against
process media.
If installing into an existing
application, also refer to the WARNING
at the beginning of the Maintenance
section in this instruction manual.
The M Series gear actuator is normally mounted on
a valve at the factory. However, the actuator can be
field mounted; it can be mounted in any position on
the Type A11 or A31A and it can be mounted in
positions 1 and 3 on the Type A41, as shown in
figure 2. Make clearance considerations before
mounting the actuator to determine the most suitable
mounting position.
The M Series actuator has a direct stab-on design.
Simply insert the valve shaft into the broached area
of the body housing. Then attach the mounting
bracket to the actuator, using the torques listed in
table 5, and attach the mounting bracket to the
valve.
